Donald Trump Issues New Threat To Iran Over Nuclear Tensions

Donald Trump has issued a fresh genocidal threat to Iran if the country’s regime does not agree to a peace deal to permanently end the war.

The US president said “there won’t be anything left of them” in a post on Truth Social.

Although a ceasefire remains in place in the conflict, the Strait – which used to carry one-fifth of the global oil supply – remains closed to maritime traffic.

Trump said: “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”

Despite Trump’s repeated threats – and erroneous claims that America has won the war – no peace deal has yet been agreed to end the war.

The president sparked a furious backlash when he threatened to end Iranian civilisation.

Keir Starmer told MPs: “In relation to the language about destroying a civilisation, can I really be clear with this house – that was wrong.

“A threat to Iranian civilians in that way is wrong. These are civilians, let’s remember, who’ve suffered immeasurable harm by the regime in Iran for many, many long years, and that’s why they are words and phrases that I would never use on behalf of this government, which are guided by our principles and our values throughout all of this.”
